A link that backs up a personal opinion? Are you just wanting him to link to his own post that states that it is his opinion?

Someone else's opinion that Sooner didn't think she knew what she was saying would be controversial? Or someone else's opinion that she didn't know what she was saying would be controversial? Wouldn't any such link also require yet another link to someone else's opinion? And exactly what would be the value of any of that? |

It's probably not the most productive use of church instruction time, though. It's especially glaring that there is no equivalent lesson for young men. Apparently, the young men have more important things to learn.

After hearing the talk, this was the exact feeling I had. It wasn't until I went back and re-read the talk that I remembered that "mothers who know" was a tie in to Alma 56:48 ("Our mothers knew it"). I think I see what she was trying to do there, but I'm afraid it had the effect of leading folks to the logical conclusion that if one isn't doing things in exactly her prescribed manner then they are a mother who "doesn't know". I'm not sure that was her intention, but I can certainly see how people arrive at that conclusion.

But the reason given for males learning to cook, clean, and iron is mission prep, not marriage prep.

Still waiting to hear why I'm off-base on my actual criticism of Sis. Beck's talk. People on Mullah-central were very quick to condemn me, without actually addressing my criticism.
By the way, I think Cali and SteelBlue have put it much more clearly than I did. I completely endorse their posts.

That's kind of true. The Duty to God requirement is more of a life preparation thing, the lessons are usually specifically mission prep. That is a mistake, IMHO.
